Rachel Kempson
Oyuncu · 1910 – 2003 · Dartmouth, Devon, England, UK
Lady Rachel Kempson, 28 Mayıs 1910 tarihinde Dartmouth, Devon, İngiltere'de dünyaya gelmiştir. İngiliz tiyatrosunun en saygın ailelerinden biri olan Redgrave hanedanının bir diğer önemli "matriarkı" (ana kraliçesi) ve Sir Michael Redgrave'in eşidir. Eğitimini Londra'daki prestijli Kraliyet Dramatik Sanatlar Akademisi'nde (RADA) tamamlayan Kempson, profesyonel kariyerine 1933 yılında Stratford-upon-Avon'daki Shakespeare Memorial Theatre'da sahne alarak başlamıştır. 1935 yılında aktör Michael Redgrave ile evlenen Kempson, bu birliktelikten Vanessa, Corin ve Lynn Redgrave gibi üç önemli oyuncuyu dünyaya getirerek bir oyunculuk imparatorluğunun temellerini sağlamlaştırdı. Kariyerinin ilk yıllarında daha çok tiyatroya odaklansa da, sinemadaki varlığını 1940'larda hissettirmeye başladı. Eşi Michael Redgrave ile birlikte rol aldığı savaş draması "The Captive Heart" (1946), sinemadaki ilk önemli çıkışlarından biriydi. 1960'lı yıllarda İngiliz sinemasının yeni dalga akımıyla birlikte önemli karakter rollerinde boy gösterdi. Tony Richardson'ın yönettiği ve En İyi Film Oscar'ını kazanan "Tom Jones" (1963) filminde Squire Western'in kız kardeşi rolüyle dikkat çekti. Ardından, kızı Lynn Redgrave'in başrol oynadığı "Georgy Girl" (1966) filminde yer aldı. Aile üyeleriyle sık sık aynı projelerde yer alan Kempson, "The Charge of the Light Brigade" (1968) filminde de oğlu Corin Redgrave ile birlikte çalıştı. Kariyerinin ikinci baharını 1980'lerde, özellikle televizyon yapımları ve uluslararası filmlerle yaşadı. 1984 yapımı "The Jewel in the Crown" adlı televizyon dizisindeki Lady Manners performansı, ona büyük bir eleştirel övgü ve BAFTA adaylığı getirdi. Sinemada ise Sydney Pollack'ın yönettiği, Meryl Streep ve Robert Redford'un başrolünü paylaştığı 7 Oscar ödüllü "Benim Afrikam" (Out of Africa) (1985) filmindeki Lady Belfield rolüyle dünya çapında tanındı. Ayrıca "Lorna Doone" (1990) ve torunu Joely Richardson ile birlikte rol aldığı "Vectra" reklamları gibi farklı projelerde yer aldı. Hayatının son yıllarını kızı Vanessa Redgrave'in yanında Amerika'da geçiren sanatçı, 2003 yılında anılarını kaleme aldığı "Life Among the Redgraves" adlı otobiyografisini yayımladı. Aktris, 24 Mayıs 2003 tarihinde Millbrook, New York'ta geçirdiği inme sonucu 92 yaşında hayatını kaybetmiştir.
